The Canes have managed to force shop touts with the Kings and Blackhawks, but haven't been able to close on either. Rough start to the season, but the team is starting to show promise, and the Penalty kill has been outstanding.

That game last night actually instilled a lot of faith that our improvements are "real." We carried the play for several stretches throughout the game. And in the end it was there for the taking with one of the better teams in the league (though on the downhill IMO).

There were some unfortunate situations that kept going wrong for us that could have easily changed the outcome (Duchene breakaway no call for example).
